Those early NFT founders who pulled rugs in 2021 probably genuinely believed nothing would catch up to them. The audacity was real—like there were zero consequences in this completely unregulated Wild West. They saw the hype, the money flowing in, and thought they'd just disappear into the ether. Zero foresight. The whole space was so new, so chaotic, that some projects operated like accountability didn't exist. Turns out community memory is a hell of a thing.

HypotheticalLiquidator

Community memory is more ruthless than liquidation prices; once triggered, no one can escape. --- The early players who cut leeks in 2021, how many have now become cautionary tales? Want to hide in the void? Laughable, on-chain data never sleeps. --- Lack of regulation ≠ no consequences. These people use leverage for fun and then want to stay out of it. Systemic risk will eventually lead to liquidation. --- Just by listening to these words, you can tell how naive they are—thinking hype can last forever, but when the health factor drops below the threshold, they still argue. --- They have no foresight at all—too polite to say it outright. This is a typical prelude to a chain of liquidations, one after another crashing down. --- The mentality of NFT project teams is just like high leverage positions—if they don’t admit defeat, they can pretend nothing’s wrong. Ridiculous. --- Is community memory terrifying? That’s human nature. These people underestimated the power of de-leveraging through public opinion.

Haha, just for a moment of fun, now everyone has become "wanted criminals" The era of selling and running away is long gone, the crypto circle's network is that big Community revenge psychology is really not a joke The early batch was indeed a bit inflated, money came too quickly and made people reckless Those who still dare to step out now are either thick-skinned beyond anyone else or haven't been doxxed yet The project teams from 2021 that ended in failure really think of themselves as ghosts This is what you call "the higher you fly, the harder you fall," debts will be paid sooner or later

nah this is exactly what pattern analysis shows... those early exit signatures still traceable on-chain. blockchain memory doesn't forget, that's the whole point. they thought they could ghost? statistical anomaly if they actually got away clean. community receipts are forever

The group of people in 2021 really thought that NFTs were outside the law... Community memory is indeed something extraordinary.

Jokes aside, those guys really think they're invincible. But what happened? The community never forgets, bro.

Oh my, do these people really think that if they disappear, no one will remember? Honestly, those scammers back then were truly arrogant beyond measure. That year, 2021, was basically lawless; community memory really can be deadly. As for跑路, it definitely can't be avoided. The entire ecosystem is a mess because of these guys. Trust me, they will have to settle their accounts sooner or later.
